What's the vibe today . . .

On-the-go gear

Let’s face it, as parents, we are always on the go. Errands, play dates, music classes, baby drop-ins and more consume a large part of the day. Babyvibe has found several products that make parenting on the go simple yet fun.

Super Goober

Being a parent and staying hip and chic has never been easier while being on the go with little ones thanks to the Goober Baby Designs Change Purse. Small enough to fit in a diaper bag and large enough to hold wipes and a few diapers, the change purse is ultra chic and cool. Made in Canada and available in a variety of modern styles and colours, Babyvibe loves that two local moms have finally spiced up everyday items for parents. Even better, the purse is machine washable.

Goober Baby also makes a lunch bag that is functional and stylish with a see-through front, waterproof interior, is easy to close and can hold snacks of all sorts. Check out other new products at www.gooberbaby.com.

Available at local retailers Baby Belle Boutique in Oakridge Centre, Bug-a-Boo Boutique in the heart of Fort Langley, Chick Pea at East 1st Avenue and Commercial Drive in Vancouver, and online retailers:

Snack-Trap

Minimize unwanted snack spills and promote self-feeding skills with the Snack-Trap, a nifty product designed for wee ones between one and five. Here’s how it works and why we dig it: the Snack-Trap is a tip-resistant handled cup that tots can hold all by themselves. The lid has slits that allow your little one to remove their snack on their own. After they slip out a snack and their hand is out, the lid automatically closes. When frustration or excitement hits, the munchkin can shake, throw, bang the cup and snacks will not go flying! Great for them to use and play with while going for a stroll in the stroller.

You can pick up a Snack-Trap at Little Blessings Children’s Boutique, 3010 Cambie St., Vancouver, and 1263 56th St., Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall.

Save that cupcake

Here’s a new product that will save that special cupcake or even a muffin. Forgo the Saran Wrap that ultimately squishes the icing and trade it in for a Cup-A-Cake. It’s a container unlike no other. Thanks to protrusions inside the container, your cupcake will stay in place when the container is turned upside down or shaken. Mind you, your one year old probably isn’t going to be toting around a cupcake, but if you have older children (preschool and older) and you like cupcakes, this is the product for you.

Available at Little Blessings Children’s Boutique.

Diaper bag to the rescue

The Diaper Bag Express is a convenient substitute for your ordinary diaper bag. You can stock it with diapers, wipes, an extra change of clothes, and a couple of small toys, and use it as a back up. Leave it in the trunk of your car, in the basket of your stroller or in a tote bag, so that if you forget the diapers at home, you and your little won’t be left in a bind. The diaper bag is water resistant and washable by hand. We love the included large change mat and pockets that are designed for holding wipes, diapers and other baby necessities. The compact bag is also gender neutral and cool enough for dads to use.

The Diaper Bag Express is not yet available in Canadian stores but we hope to see it on local retailers’ shelves soon. In the meantime, you can order direct from the company at www.diaperbagexpress.com. They ship to Canada.
